Rd Article Scrollbar Module
★★★
Very good, but not compatible with JCH Optimize !

Rd Article Scrollbar Module
This is exactly the extension that I was looking for. Just perfect !
Unfortunately, our site is very complex so we have to use the popular 'JCH Optimize' to get a better YSlow rating. The Rd Article Scrollbar module does not work with JCH Optimize in action! Even when I exclude the entire module in the JCH settings (including the js and css files) the module stops working.
I hope the developer wants to check this out because the Scrollbar module is too good to loose :-(
SP Upgrade
★★★★★
This is a piece of magic !

SP Upgrade
After experimenting endlessly with jUpgrade (advised by Joomla) I was about to give up till someone pointed me to this tool. jUpgrade fails miserably because it changes the menu item and category ID's and also some of the aliases. SP Upgrade managed to keep everything intact and that was exactly what I needed. For complex websites with thousands of internal links SP Upgrade seems to be the only tool on the market that does the trick. No hassle, fast, straightforward and very easy for normal users.
It is well worth the 20 euros.
A big thank you to the developer!
jUpgrade
★★
Very poor for big sites

jUpgrade
After following and testing this tool again and again till the 'stable' version I am very disappointed with the final results. The menu item ID's and the category ID's simply changed, even with 'Keep original positions' checked. Also many aliases changed.
Our website is huge and contains thousands of internal links and hundreds of external sites link to our articles.
The result of the migrating process with jUpgrade is very sad. Yes, all the content seems to be there, but many things are mixed up and most of the internal links are broken or point to wrong items. Many links from external sites result in 404 errors, etc...
Fixing all the problems manually is an impossible job.
I asked for support with a serious proposal to pay for it. No reply at all.

Fortunately someone gave me a golden tip to an alternative solution : sp upgrade
It took me less than an hour to migrate our entire site to 1.6. No errors at all, fast and straightforward. All ID's are kept intact. Friendly and fast support. Well worth the 20 euros for this piece of magic.
JNavigation
★★★★
A must have !

JNavigation
I am using this extension for a long time now. It's a relief to install this one to replace the ugly standard Joomla navigation.
I hope there will be an update for Joomla 1.6 soon.
Keep up the good work.

Hi, thanks for support!
Actually, I was very, very busy, so I did not have time for Joomla.
I just upload a new version of JNavigation for J1.7
Please try it!
Best regards

Not compatible with Joomfish ?

This seemed a very promising extension for me, but unfortunately the articles don't get translated (Joomfish). It seems this extension is not compatible with the Joomfish and therefor not usable for multi-language sites.
It would also be nice to be able to put the date in front of the articles.

I find this a very useful extension. However, if you have a multilanguage site the module does not look which language is active. The items taken from the sections/categories are shown in the default language.
Owner's reply

The module complies with requirements for JoomFish compatibility (specified in JoomFish website), so I can't be certain it's a module's bug; we are currently asking for a solution to JoomFish developers.
